and a chance to see ice climbers in action. Guide, ice cleats and trail snacks included. ½ Day.

Grotto
Canyon Icewalk 
An exciting adventure into winter wilderness.
The
walk through Grotto Canyon offers the visitor an exciting
opportunity to walk along the bottom of an ice covered
canyon floor. As the walk progresses, the walls of the
canyon close in, and become ever steeper and higher. Just
when it looks like the canyon has ended at two dramatic
frozen waterfalls, it takes a sharp turn to the left and
continues. And then just as suddenly the canyon ends and
opens up into a "Lost Valley" whose only entrance
or exit is the path you've just taken! This dramatic finish
in an almost inaccessible mountain valley and the "Hermit's
Hideout" will leave you with a taste of what real
wilderness is all about! Guide, ice cleats, hiking poles, and trail snacks included. 1/2
day.
Cost: 1-6 persons: $330. Each additional person add $55
Transportation from Banff, Canmore, Lake Louise add $25
per person. (min. charge: $150)
